Qualifications

You signed a VAP because of fraud, duress, or material mistake of fact and you want to undo it;

The VAP was filed with the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services OR, if the VAP was filed in another state, the other parent who signed the VAP lives in Illinois; AND

The deadline for you to rescind (cancel) the VAP outside of court has passed. (You usually have 60 days from the effective date of the VAP to rescind it, but the deadline may be shorter if there is a court case about the child.) If you are within the timeframe to rescind the VAP, you should rescind the VAP outside of court instead of bringing a court case
